  1. As (re)written, yes.
  2. First time I ever saw Cena wrestle was in a crappy rec center in front of barely a hundred people.
  3. Mind you, I'm pretty comfortable believing that what actually happened was that Zimmerman stalked Martin because he was black, called 911, ignored suggestions from the people he called to stay away, provoked a confrontation, then murdered Martin when that confrontation didn't go well for him. You can quibble with the word "murder" if you want, but this version doesn't contradict or ignore any facts, and fits the scenario, and the people involved, far better than the defense team's story.
  4. Erm, you think they're still feeling out the face/heel dynamic for a guy who has a "family compound", has slack-jawed followers, who refers to "the masses" as "fools", "puppets", and "sheep", and comes out and attacks faces? Jesus, that's about as tweener as the Iron Shiek...
  5. Turns in the last six months that I can think of: Punk Ziggler ADR Ryback Rhodes (possibly) Henry (possibly) Admittedly this isn't counting things like Christian coming back a face when he was a heel before, or the sort-of heel turn it looked like they were giving Bryan that the crowds just weren't having, but it doesn't seem like that many, really.
  6. Well, if you buy all of the defense team's story, (which I don't, but there's no viable witness either way,) it was Martin who was the aggressor in both the initial meeting and the ensuing confrontation.
  7. Jesus. This is their Magnum Opus, isn't it?
  8. Slight correction there in that he was instructed to stay away by the 911 operator, but operators/dispatchers do not have police powers, thus Zimmerman was not violating the law by simply approaching Martin. Whether other aspects of what he did violated the law is unclear, and the lack of evidence for that is ultimately where the reasonable doubt comes into play.
  9. Screw costume. Just plastic-surgery his face into that.
  10. It's just not though, is it?
  11. "Straight self-defense" is arguably a bit of a misnomer given it was a fight he essentially picked, and there's the argument to be had that without Florida's SYG law, maybe Zimmerman wouldn't feel so free to play vigilante, but while I think SYG laws are terrible ideas, especially when applied as liberally as Florida's are, you're right that the Zimmerman case is not really about SYG, because if Martin was on top of Zimmerman, then he had no ability to retreat, and thus SYG is irrelevant. In any event, I think things like SYG distract from the larger issue of the conflict between what most Americans consider acceptable behavior and the sort of behavior our gun laws actually allow.
  12. ...no, it's still funny.
  13. What are you talking about? He never even TOUCHED a chair.
  14. Based on the foreshadowing, they will have Vince rake Maddox over the coals for this. I like to think this will eventually lead to Bryan being the tiny psychotic vegan Stone Cold to McMahon's Mr. McMahon.
  15. Based on that crowd, if DVDVR March Madness were held tonight, the winner would be
  16. Speaking of Cole, according to him, Bray Wyatt was in a "sinister rocking chair."
  17. The Irish are the new Samoans.
  18. Well that was certainly a thing.
  19. And Mike Trout will probably STILL have added more runs to his team above average than Cabrera does to his...
  20. Now I want to see Kofi try to turn heel just because.
  21. Why'd you let him off? (I kid I kid)
  22. Erm, well if the ASB came at exactly the midpoint in the season, that'd be correct, but with 37 HR in 96 games, he's on pace for 62.
  23. ...Sorry, kid.
  24. Speaking of no-hitters, in his first ever major league start, Boston rookie Brandon Workman has taken a no-hitter through 6 against the A's.
